Jack Horne Poet Tetractys

Love At First Bite

A
zombie
reeling round
a rough nightclub
encounters a ghoul and they start to dance.
He asks, 'What's a nice ghoul like you doing 
in a place like 
this? She says,
'Rotten
roll.'

some Halloween silliness for Eve's Double Tetractys contest

John Watt November 13, 2020 at 2:17 PM This was fun from the title all the way to the punny ending. It reminds me (in a rather serpentine way) of the dentist looking at a cavity in the mouth of his pretty patient, "What's a place like this doing in a nice girl like you?" Congrats on your win ~ John

Eve Roper October 15, 2020 at 6:15 PM Jack , this poem was very amusing and it should have scored higher, but you forgot the date. Congratulations on your win.
